Melting Faces in a Cracked Mirror. There is only so much that we can get away with in life. This temporary life we lead, has not a single favorite. This book of layered rhythmic poems, ballads & prose, is one for the underdog. It is a collection based on real and imaginary characters, who are faced with racial concerns and other world issues and hardships that we experienced in 2020. Through people, things, and even places, that we may not identify with, these poems allow us to look at our worldly reflections while we struggle to revamp our images during this temporary stay in this fractured orgonite crystal ball.
